In reply to this comment by residue:
Does anyone know of any videos similar to this one? Maybe something with Charlie Brooker?

reminds me of this classic

Truth in advertising.

... Asside from being a great word processor...


as long as you don't try to have a single document over 140 pages, or more than 10 figures or references, or try to paste objects from any other version of word, or attempt to export to PDF using Acrobat, or expect it not to auto-generate 337 new styles on it's own, or want you to take a survey to help improve it, or require 500+ MB patches... then yes, it's a great word processor.

My question is - why is MS so effin' cheap that they can't provide their employees with a laptop? she's gotta use kiosks, cybercafe's, hotel guest computers, etc etc. Like I would trust any one of those computers to be virus-free and not running a keystroke-logger.... but she goes right in to her sharepoint site, enters username and password, to make those "critical" changes... minutes later, those confidential Microsoft documents are leaked. (don't worry, they'll blame firefox for the breach)

----

all in all, truth in advertising. She's not excited because it's not exciting.

Excellent Olbermann finale.

I wish someone could invoke some sort of truth in advertising lawsuit for this ad.

Reminiscent of http://www.videosift.com/video/Truth-in-Advertising-NSFW

how about, Truth in Advertising


Think of what daily assaults most American's eyes in the form of printed word and video images.....nothing short of Satan himself forcing your eyes open with rusty mechanical clamps and training your head directly at the sun at mid-day..... blindness is unavoidable, and in this land of the blind, the one-eyed man is FUCKED!!!

*Truth* in advertising? Religionists and their zealotry has ceased to surprise me.

I'm nominating you for a truth in advertising award.

finally...truth in advertising.

Upvote for truth in advertising: you promised 11 seconds of a dog humping a cat and by god you delivered 11 seconds of a dog humping a cat. I doff my hat to you sir.

In reply to this comment by marinara:
well, you discarded the popper video, really a shame since it watched better and looked better than the original post.

No no, the popper video is still up, though it's about to expire. I discarded the one about "accidental exposure," which wasn't doing so well...

My bio is actually truth in advertising-- I'm a second-year med student!

None of the fundamental philosophical bases of free speech support unlimited commercial speech. Generally speaking, commercial advertisement does not promote the free flow of thought, does not aid in the education of a voting populace, and has slight connections with personal liberty. These ideals are fully able to stand independent, and well safe-guarded, in the face of regulations on commercial speech.

The losses to society by restricting free commercial speech are outweighed, on the whole, by the benefits from greater truth in advertising and any potential reduction in the prevalence of partisan slander.

Note also that commercial speech may be regulated to prevent falsehood and defamation without hindering, for example, solicitations by charitable organizations.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I looked for pictures, but the most I could find was someone describing their experience with it in a thread. Can't find it now. This one is right up there with the X-ray specs as far as truth in advertising goes.

yeah, that bit was funnier in the SNL Drug Olympics sketch with Phil Hartman... where he clean-and-jerks his arms off as a doped up weight lifter.

And as a biologist, I happen to be privey to information that lactated secretions from other large mammals is not exactly a panacea to help promote bone health... in fact the evidence is fairly scant that milk after early childhood leads to even small improvement in bone growth and maintenance.

So in a sense, the kids are actually right. They could just eat healthy, have a small multi-vitamin, get some excercise outside in the sun, and leave milk to the babies if they don't like it. And I say this as someone who just enjoys truth in advertising... I have a gallon of whole milk in my fridge.
